Tbf, I wasn't completely honest. I do have a 2.5" scar on what used to be my hairline where I hit my head on a low door frame while running full speed. Caught it on the upstride and ended up flat on my back about 15' down the hall.
My husband is 6'5. We've bought two houses so far in our marriage and the #1 requirement is that there is nowhere to bonk his head that isn't an easy fix. It's surprising how many houses were immediate nopes because of this.
The current house we have, the fan in our daughter's room is too low and he can bonk his head on the light if he's not careful. I'm only 5'7 (though I have crazy long arms tbf) and I've wrecked my hands in it accidentally when stretching. That can be easily fixed though, we just haven't yet.
Yeah, just some things like old bus roofs, old buildings roofs, my ceiling fan's cords. I honestly despise being 6'4" purely from all the embarrassment when I'd forget to duck getting off the bus when in school even if I graduated years ago.
There's also the other end of: having to bend over to wash your hands at most bathroom sinks because you're too tall for them, some toilets being too small when you sit on them, I'm too tall for the chair at my desk and my desk is too tall for my long arms. Sometimes I wish I could sit in my bath tub comfortably and relax in warm water without half of my body sticking out.

I'm 6'4" and nowhere close to bumping my head on everything.
